Queens Head Inn, Cheltenham

There was a good mix of locals and visitors in this Stow pub overlooking The Square. Although, I'm not sure the locals particularly appreciate the influx of outsiders. I certainly got a few strange looks. This is quite a popular pub. The front bar is fairly traditional with a cartwheel suspended from the ceiling and stone walls. Locals were congregated here near the window. A rear room was where most of the visitors were heading for meals, which seemed quite pricy. This is another Donnington Brewery pub with BB & Cotswold Gold available in cask format. I'd had enough of their beers to try another one here. This may be the best pub in a fairly touristy town, but it's nothing special.

Busiest pub in Stow - having stayed the night for the first time. This may not be down to the beer quality but the beer price. About 30% cheaper than anywhere else. A gorgeous country boozer in an open plan format, surrounding a central bar. Nice beer garden.

Called into this pub while on a coach trip round Gloucestershire pubs and found this to be a friendly pub with a good atmosphere. Selection of Donnington beers available and I enjoyed the Cotswold Gold.
